I love this idea! Probably less complicated than what I do (but I don't have to hunt down dice
)
My version when I can't decide on the next book is no roulette...I put my sort on Title and alternate between the next book alphabetically from A, then the next time reverse alphabetically from Z. I guess it's a little roulette-ish since I don't have my books categorized by genre - just single titles and series - so doing the 'next' in line could be any sort of book. I also alternate this between a single title book and a series book(s). Yesterday I read a single title (in the Z's (Zeph Undercover if anyone's interested - very good read)) so today I will sort my series (collections) by title and pick the next A series and read the first book in the that series. If I like the series, I'll move on to the next one. If I'm not in the mood for that, then I'll go to the next A in my single titles and come back to the series after that.
If I start to feel like I might be missing out on gems in the middle of the alphabet, I go to the Ms and read the first one there.
